Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un dispositif qui communiquent des données. Un circuit de modulation et de mappage module et mappe des symboles de données en une pluralité de fréquences sous-porteuses multiples qui sont orthogonales les unes par rapport aux autres de manière à former un signal de communication multiplexé par répartition orthogonale de la fréquence (OFDM) sur la base d'un débit de symboles OFDM fixe ou variable. Un générateur de signaux pseudo-aléatoires fonctionne avec le circuit de modulation et de mappage sur la base d'un algorithme de cryptage pour réaliser un saut de fréquence pour chaque sous-porteuse à un débit de symboles OFDM afin de réduire toute probabilité d'interception et de détection, réduire la puissance par fréquence (dB/Hz/sec), et réduire toute puissance de transmission nécessaire tout en conservant un rapport signal à bruit instantané.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of gasification burner online feeding for a coal-water slurry gasifier, wherein the pressure of the water-coal slurry is 0.05- 2.5 MPa higher than the gasifier's operating pressure, and the pressure of oxidizer is 0.05-4 MPa higher than the gasifier's operating pressure, by setting up the feed flows of coal-water slurry and oxidizer respectively. The coal-water slurry line and the oxidizer line between the cut-off valves and the gasification burners are both protected by shield gas. Upon determining that the pressure and flow parameters are normal, the gasification burners perform online pressurized feeding: closing the coal-water slurry circulating valve (107), opening the cut-off valve (103,104), closing the shield gas cut-off valve (110), and the coal-water slurry entering into the gasifier; closing the oxidizer vent valve (205), opening the cut-off valve (203,204), closing the shield gas cut-off valve (208), and the oxidizer entering into the gasifier. The operating load of the gasification burner is regulated to be normal. The present invention can realize online, pressurized and continuous feeding of the gasification burners which are fixed after they stalled for other reasons than their own, thus greatly reducing the probability of accidental shutdown of gasifiers and improving the reliability of long-term service of the multi-nozzle opposed gasifier.
